is it a good idea for me to buy this thread.

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

As said, its a brilliant idea.

Mainly because its 480 miles away from you. It'd be a nice ride out to go collect it.

Put a swift GTI engine in it and go bonkers.

That looks like it could be the most fun. Ever.

Yes and no!

Would be cool as fuck but to actually make it road legal it would need an IVA test :thumbdown:

Is it a good idea for me to restore the Lwb, sell it, buy a hillman imp and fit a swift gti engine?
